Even ikedia was mentioned among 20 most skillful Nigeria player 🤦‍♂️. Well headless running na skills too 😂

Napoleon55:

Good and inspiring message.
Let's get to work immediately, no long story.

It's now assured he can speak English fluently, or was this write up translated?

TheGoodJoe:


Powerful speech I must say. I almost ordered jersey and boot to go to the street and start training. On a serious note, Eric Chelle sounds like someone who can inspire the players to do better.

He also sounds very ambitious and I am glad he believes in how well we can perform.

My support is in.

charlesemeka85:
Hwfa Tonga coaching job contact wey I give u since last year?😏

elyte89:
Ok

aicon4s:


Odegbami replaces Ikedia
Okwaraji replaces Chidi Odia
Okorowanta replaces Okoronkwo
Nwosu replaces Ogbuke

Napoleon55:

I'm sure u just want to engage for arguing sake.
Go and make your own top 20 list and stop ridiculing players who could not go further in their careers.

elyte89:



From d unveiling ceremony I watched ,his English is not bad …better Dan peseiros’ ,let say on communicable level .

zicky:
OK sir

TheGoodJoe:


Ironically, I never saw Ikedia as a headless running footballer. He is one of my best players to ever play for Nigeria. He rejected the U17 and headed straight to the U20. In the U20 world cup in Nigeria, he was one of the best players of the tournament. He walked from the U20 straight into the Super Eagles.

Even in the Super Eagles, Ikedia was the go to guy a lot of times when we were building attack.

I wonder how I can get Nigeria vs Ireland, 2nd round of Nigeria 99, World Youth Championship.

That game will make any doubter understand how good Pius Ikedia was.

This compilation will give you an idea of how good Pius Ikedia was.

AndSunGorilla:

Can't remember why his career was shortlived though. Ogbeche was another skillful player. Bartho made à name for himself unfortunately he also didn't last long.

Napoleon55:

U don go watch the Ikedia's video clip wey TheGoodJoe posted and realize he was not all that headless,soon u will watch Yahaya's own,there u will see that u were completely wrong.

TheGoodJoe:
Some things we should know about our new coach, Eric Chelle.

1. He is very strict and demands discipline from all players. He has no room for big boys.

2. His philosophy and tactics rules his actions. Any player that does not fit in, no matter the level of the player will be cut off.

3. His system demands a lot of running. If you can't run and keep up stamina, sorry.

4. He hates interference with his work and is a kind of man that will not allow it.

5. We can expect new players to break into the team because if he sees anyone that suits his strategy, the person has a chance to break into the team.

elyte89:



because of dt over head kick dt deceived everybody prior to World Cup,Thinking he was a good player…baba na otu ofo

Joebie:
Nwakali get stamina and he sabi run wella. I don press one button.

TheGoodJoe:


That tactical perspective is what I am not sure of. I don't really know if Eric Chelle plays with a deep lying playmaker. Remember he dropped Bissouma from his side as the AFCON progressed. So I am not really sure if Kelechi Nwakali's deep control side will work for Chelle. He is the one to decide.

zicky:
that bicycle kick go against chilavert deceive us, just like Idowu

Joebie:
Nwakali get stamina and he sabi run wella. I don press one button.

Napoleon55:

Good.
It's there link to the video?

TheGoodJoe:


Ironically, he was a good player but his attacking style did not suit Okocha's style. I think Ogbeche suited Ebiede more. Ogbeche liked the ball released early to him when in space while Okocha preferred breaking the midfield with his skills to create room for the forwards.

Okocha's style was pointed out by some analysts as a hinderance to Ogbeche. Ogbeche had a history of being a good player from FGC Okigwe to Unical to the local league scene.

Unfortunately, despite the array of creative midfielders in that time, Abubakar Musa, Ebiede, Ibeji, Oruma etc, Okocha was untouchable to get dropped. So Ogbeche had to go.

zicky:
so doing rabona and leg overs are what we see as skills 👏
